  • Electromagnetism As Quantum Physics
    Electromagnetism as Quantum Physics Charles T. Sebens California Institute of Technology May 29, 2019 arXiv v.3 The published version of this paper appears in Foundations of Physics, 49(4) (2019), 365-389. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10701-019-00253-3 Abstract One can interpret the Dirac equation either as giving the dynamics for a classical field or a quantum wave function. Here I examine whether Maxwell's equations, which are standardly interpreted as giving the dynamics for the classical electromagnetic field, can alternatively be interpreted as giving the dynamics for the photon's quantum wave function. I explain why this quantum interpretation would only be viable if the electromagnetic field were sufficiently weak, then motivate a particular approach to introducing a wave function for the photon (following Good, 1957). This wave function ultimately turns out to be unsatisfactory because the probabilities derived from it do not always transform properly under Lorentz transformations. The fact that such a quantum interpretation of Maxwell's equations is unsatisfactory suggests that the electromagnetic field is more fundamental than the photon.

It held within it the seeds of special relativity. Einstein discovered the special theory of relativity by studying the laws of electromagnetism, laws which were already relativistic.1 There are hints that electromagnetism may also have held within it the seeds of quantum mechanics, though quantum mechanics was not discovered by cultivating those seeds.

  • Displacement Current and Ampère's Circuital Law Ivan S
    ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Displacement current and Ampère's circuital law Ivan S. Bozev, Radoslav B. Borisov The existing literature about displacement current, although it is clearly defined, there are not enough publications clarifying its nature. Usually it is assumed that the electrical current is three types: conduction current, convection current and displacement current. In the first two cases we have directed movement of electrical charges, while in the third case we have time varying electric field. Most often for the displacement current is talking in capacitors. Taking account that charge carriers (electrons and charged particles occupy the negligible space in the surrounding them space, they can be regarded only as exciters of the displacement current that current fills all space and is superposition of the currents of the individual moving charges. For this purpose in the article analyzes the current configuration of lines in space around a moving charge. An analysis of the relationship between the excited magnetic field around the charge and the displacement current is made. It is shown excited magnetic flux density and excited the displacement current are linked by Ampere’s circuital law. ъ а аа я аъ а ъя (Ива . Бв, аав Б. Бв.)

  • Chapter 1 ELECTROMAGNETICS of METALS
    Chapter 1 ELECTROMAGNETICS OF METALS While the optical properties of metals are discussed in most textbooks on condensed matter physics, for convenience this chapter summarizes the most important facts and phenomena that form the basis for a study of surface plas- mon polaritons. Starting with a cursory review of Maxwell’s equations, we describe the electromagnetic response both of idealized and real metals over a wide frequency range, and introduce the fundamental excitation of the conduc- tion electron sea in bulk metals: volume plasmons. The chapter closes with a discussion of the electromagnetic energy density in dispersive media. 1.1 Maxwell’s Equations and Electromagnetic Wave Propagation The interaction of metals with electromagnetic fields can be firmly under- stood in a classical framework based on Maxwell’s equations. Even metallic nanostructures down to sizes on the order of a few nanometres can be described without a need to resort to quantum mechanics, since the high density of free carriers results in minute spacings of the electron energy levels compared to thermal excitations of energy kBT at room temperature. The optics of met- als described in this book thus falls within the realms of the classical theory. However, this does not prevent a rich and often unexpected variety of optical phenomena from occurring, due to the strong dependence of the optical prop- erties on frequency. As is well known from everyday experience, for frequencies up to the vis- ible part of the spectrum metals are highly reflective and do not allow elec- tromagnetic waves to propagate through them. Metals are thus traditionally employed as cladding layers for the construction of waveguides and resonators for electromagnetic radiation at microwave and far-infrared frequencies.

    Revision of Electromagnetic Theory Lecture 1 Maxwell’s Equations Static Fields Electromagnetic Potentials Electromagnetism and Special Relativity Andy Wolski University of Liverpool, and the Cockcroft Institute Electromagnetism in Accelerators Electromagnetism has two principle applications in accelerators: magnetic fields can be used to steer and focus beams; • electric fields can be used to control the energy of particles. • However, understanding many diverse phenomena in accelerators, and the design and operation of many different types of components, depends on a secure knowledge of electromagnetism. Electromagnetism 1 Lecture 1: Fields and Potentials Electromagnetism in Accelerators In these lectures, we will revise the fundamental principles of electromagnetism, giving specific examples in the context of accelerators. In particular, in this first lecture, we will: revise Maxwell’s equations and the associated vector • calculus; discuss the physical interpretation of Maxwell’s equations, • with some examples relevant to accelerators; see how the dynamics of particles in an accelerator are • governed by the Lorentz force; discuss the electromagnetic potentials, and their use in • solving electrodynamical problems; briefly consider energy in electromagnetic fields; • show how the equations of electromagnetism may be • written to show explicitly their consistency with special relativity. The next lecture will be concerned with electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetism 2 Lecture 1: Fields and Potentials Further Reading Recommended text: • I.S.Grant

    Lecture 21 Reminder/Introduction to Wave Optics Program: 1. Maxwell’s Equations. 2. Magnetic induction and electric displacement. 3. Origins of the electric permittivity and magnetic permeability. 4. Wave equations and optical constants. 5. The origins and frequency dependency of the dielectric constant. Questions you should be able to answer by the end of today’s lecture: 1. What are the equations determining propagation of the waves in the media? 2. What are the relationships between the electric field and electric displacement and magnetic field and magnetic induction? 3. What is the nature of the polarization? How can we gain intuition about the dielectric constant for a material? 4. How do Maxwell’s equations lead to the wave nature of light? 5. What is refractive index and how it relates to the dielectric constant? How does it relate to the speed of light inside the material? 6. What is the difference between the phase and group velocity? 1 Response of materials to electromagnetic waves – propagation of light in solids. We classified materials with respect to their conductivity and related the observed differences to the existence of band gaps in the electron energy eigenvalues. The optical properties are determined to a large extent by the electrons and their ability to interact with the electromagnetic field, thus the conductivity classification of materials, which was a result of the band structure and band filling, is also useful for classifying the optical response. The most widely used metric for quantifying the optical behavior of materials is the index of refraction, which captures the extent to which the electromagnetic wave interacts with the material.
